Friday evening coffee break :)

Ok, finally a little clarity to play catch up.

Sorry about the last post, I guess I shouldn't have been typing while being shot full of narcotics for a week!  Again, sorry Lily!

This has been a crazy fun week around here!  Sunday was Lenee's first baby shower, with another tomorrow.  It was a lovely occasion in the park, and then a caravan to her and Seans place.  She got alot of nice gifts and showered in love, which is always nice to see!

My sister is in town so we spent a couple days visiting with her as well.  I love my little sister, but with her in Canada, it feels like forever since we have seen each other.  Luckily the Canadian government agrees that she needed a visit to the states.  I guess my illness can be good for something :)

Also this week I got to visit with my bestie Jenni!  It was so wonderful seeing her and the girls again!  We had our own circle of love under the tree that kept shifting with the sun. One of these weekends Im gonna drive over there and spend the weekend.  That will be a fun one!

Lets see... other than the social stuff, not to much to report....

The kittens are doing amazing.  The lil calico went to her new home today.  I know she will be loved and pampered in her new home.  Now to find an equally loving home for the lil boy...  if anyone knows anyone who wants a kitten...

I still think about him... way more than I should.  Nothing sucks more than unrequited love, especially when the object of affection doesn't deserve, or want it...

Miserable week!

Things are finally on the upside so I have some momentarily cleraity to get some of the ordeal down on "paper".

I am currently at Vally General Hospital.  I have now been here for 6 days.  Ugh!!

On Saturday (August 6th) I started not feeling well.  Poor Lilly was at home, but so good and understanding when mom gets sick.  Lots of showers, and lots of vomiting does not make for a fun visit with mom.  She was being picked up Sunday.  Pretty much right after she left, Mama Sue asked if I wanted a ride to the er.  I of course said yes, as this bout wasnt getting any better.  My er visits are pretty typical.  Ususally their are some questions, what works for you, ok lets get you better and off I go.  This time it was differrrent.  They needed xrays bc they found some sort of "obstruction" in there.  Now the fun really begins.I was still throwing up so they decided it was time for the ng tube.  That nasty piece of plastic goes up my noes down my throat and sucks my gut out.  Ewwwwww!!  I could hear the suction... no fun!  The worst part is that it hurt my throat!  My throat is still so raw, everything feel like shards of glass.  Unfortunately I kinda took the tube out by my self.  Not intentionally, but in my very vivid dream if the arrow stayed in place the poisen would certainly be my death!  lol  That could be another reason for my throat hurting like it does.  Im not a dr qualified to remove those things.  The best news is that they didn't put it back and have been letting me eat little things.  I just graduated to a cheese sandwich!  Tastes like heavon!  I want to sleep... maybe its time for morpheine again?  Cant hurt to ask right?

Interview today

Today I have an interview at Center Partners.  I am pretty confident that I will get the job, even though it is not what I wanted to continue doing.  I was hoping to get out of call center work, but I am really good at customer service, and I need to work!  Its the type of interview where you leave employed so hopefully I will have some good news later today!!

Lily will be here on Friday for the weekend.  Yay!  I always enjoy time with her.  I miss her so much!  I know how hard it is to be 14, and she and her father are definitely feeling the pangs of teen angst.  Ugh!  That I don't miss, but I wish that she would talk to me!!

This weekend is also Dana's baby shower for Collin.  Even though he made his appearance early, we still need to celebrate.  I love that little man so much!!

Collin Matthew Meier

I was proud and privileged to witness the birth of my first grandson Collin Matthew Meier into the world Saturday July 30th at 7:42pm.  He weighed 5lbs 9 oz and is 19 inches long.  He has lots of dirty blonde hair and is just beautifully perfect.

As he was born via c-section, we had quite the waiting game for his arrival.  As we were going up to surgery, the tears finally came, my baby was having a baby... this is real.  Dana and I hugged and cried, and away we went.  I held her hand and talked to her while they got him out.  Again the tears came when we heard his first cry.  I kissed her forehead and called her mama.  I stood up and watched as the nurses cleaned him up, weighed him, bundled him and then passed him to me.  I got to be the first family member to welcome him into my arms.  Its been 14 years since I held a baby and felt that instant unconditional love we feel for our children.  I showed him to Dana, she kissed his forehead and Collin and I went to NICU while they finished up with Dana and she went to recovery.  To be reunited in her room a couple hours later.
